Very good guide to Waxing. Seems to cover all the questions I have had over the years of waxing, where I either had to learn it the hard way or through bits of information. Recommended to all beginner tuners. Personally I use hotwaxing to clean the base, but I am sure the suggested method works as well.

Awesome as usual. Thanks Lars. Only wish this had existed 2 months ago! Over many years i usually cold-waxed thru the season most time and would have a hot wax from a friend's help, or borrow an iron, or just have the pro shop once or twice a season... many methods and dos/don'ts, many different opinions. This year I finally put my own kit together and probably watched two dozen videos looking "my" recipe to get a great result that wasn't excessive... all the vids with the same number of dos/don'ts, all different opinions. What i finally came away with and how I tuned our boards last month is nearly exactly what you've shown. They were fast as hell! :D So THAT'S pretty freakin cool at least. :D Thanks!

Hey Lars, what do you think about cleaning base in the following way: iron a regular layer of wax into the base, but remove it right after with a scraper, then brass and nylon brushes. This way the still warm(ish) wax would suck out dirt and such particles from the base. Saw this from Nicholas Wolken, Korua Shapes. Let me know what you think if you get there. p.s.: all your videos are deeply and highly appreciated, I will be sharing them in my small but enthusiastic Hungarian snowboarding communities.

I think with die cut bases you're essentially giving the board that many more chances to have a de-lamination. Regarding 3D bases, I gave them a try with the Bataleon Thunder which is pretty much the most 3D of a base that you can have, and... it mostly just behaves like camrocker. It doesn't even track straight on a cat track like a camber board. I did have an idea I kind of wanted to try of getting rid of the base bevel on the raised areas and just let the angle of the base serve that function, but that board died of base damage right next to the edge making that board permanently edge high but only on one spot so it would always be trying to kill you. On thegoodride they do sometimes mention spooned noses giving a different feel in powder but I never got that board in deep powder fresh enough to tell. Mostly just seems like expensive cam rocker. I think I'm getting a bit of an idea of how Sami folklore works, if we all pretend like that Biru split isn't behind you, it won't exist.

Perfect video as always! More solid information on snowboard bases than in the rest of the Internet combined. What do you think about liquid "waxes" that are applied to the base without heating up - as a means to keep the base saturated for longer between hot waxes? For example hot wax before the trip and rewaxing with liquid wax every day. Not trying to substitute hot waxing, but I don't see myself scraping in a hotel room.

I am tuning my snowboard myself this year and, aside from being a fun and satisfying way to chill in my garage, I've also discovered that on the other side, a lot of shops do a really poor job, like quickly grinding the side edges, taking away a lot of material and not even considering the base bevel at all, and oftentime doing their work in a standardized way, regardless of the shape of the board (sidecut radius, camber ecc). So I prefer to take care of my board myself. But besides this, many times I've heard that leaving the wax on the board for at least a couple of hours to a maximum of 24h would be beneficial, for the wax would supposedly penetrate the sole more thouroughly. This would supposedly be one of the main differences between hand waxing and machine waxing. But I see that in this video, you scrape the wax away as soon as it gets cold. So, leaving the wax on the board for hours: truth or mith?
@Justaride-Snowboard-Channel6 ай бұрын
Myth!! 30 minutes is plenty!!
@johnshelly69462 ай бұрын
Swix says 2-4 minutes is good. They also used to recommend 2 hrs. If I have a lot of boards to do I scrape immediately with very cold waxes, and I leave for a little bit for all other waxes ( maybe up to a couple of hours). If I am just doing my own board I mostly wax in the evening and scrape in the morning, but if I need to rewax because conditions changed then I wax and scrape pretty much straight away. most of the penetration happens whilst the wax is at it's hottest, in it's most fluid state.

@Justaride-Snowboard-Channel7 ай бұрын
Well, fluro has been banned, so that's that :-) I don't know too much about the impact of hydrocarbon waxes. I've also never ridden and played with Phantom. Sorry, not much information here! I'm fairly certain that there are some aspects of skiing/snowboarding that are far, far more harmful to the planet than wax... like.... water consumption for man made snow and the electricity those guns consume.... But of course it's always a good thought to reduce our foot print where ever we can. Wend and Oneball Jay make some environmentally friendly products, and I'm sure it's only gonna become more.
@Phos97 ай бұрын
I got a Cardiff solid board with Phantom glide pre applied, but I didn't really get enough time on it to know how impactful it was. For a resort board, I will mention the caveat it doesn't prevent the base from abrading and getting fuzzy the same way a base does if you just tolerate bad glide from not waxing. That's on one of their harder to find faqs, so if you don't wax and just rely on the phantom glide you need to get to periodically get the base reground, I think that ends up being about every 30 riding days, so I don't know that not applying the paraffin is really such an environmental upside over the micro plastic from doing so many base grinds, might depend on how tidy your tuner is. Might not be an issue if you're the type to get your structure tuned to the weather. I'll probably just get it waxed normally because I don't do much board maintenance myself and the edges tend to get consumed at about the same rate as the wax. I mostly just got it because it's a powder board and it seems like a nice bonus to avoid being caught flat footed if a surprise storm shows up. I think the real benefit to phantom glide is for splitboards or back country skies to avoid the meeting of wax and skin glue.

Layering waxes as part of new board prep is pretty much universal in the racing community, even though Swix' own research seems to suggest that untreated or treated only once bases appear to have the same or higher speed potential. These tests do not talk about durability or versatility or adaptability though. Most world cup level wax techs would recommend multiple layers of high quality hydrocarbon wax before a board is ridden, and then very thorough follow up waxing (every time the board is ridden) as the board begins to be ridden. Swix also recommends re-ironing their colder waxes. They say their testing indicates improved durability when this is done with their Polar and PS5 products, this is an in season recommendation I think rather than something I would do with storage wax. I agree with Lars, ironing in storage wax multiple times with days in between each session, is likely to iron in dust and other particles from where the board is stored.
